Research Interests & Expertise

My research interests and expertise focus on Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for effective agricultural knowledge dissemination, with emphasis on the use of mobile applications and social media platforms to enhance access to timely and need-based agricultural information for farming communities. I also specialize in entrepreneurship development and strengthening Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), focusing on building farmers’ capacities in agribusiness, value addition, collective marketing, and improving market linkages to enhance farm income and sustainability. Another key area of my work is nutrition extension, where I focus on the role of extension systems in promoting awareness and dissemination of need-based nutrition-related information to farming households and rural communities. My overall work emphasizes bridging the gap between research and practice through innovative extension approaches, digital tools, and capacity-building strategies to support sustainable agricultural development and improved livelihoods.
